Disney Expedition Everest Challenge

Disney Expedition Everest Challenge is held in Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. Take a run on the wild side during the Expedition Everest Challenge, a thrill-packed, timed endurance event that combines a 5K adventure run through Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park with the challenge of a scavenger hunt.

Your nighttime adventure starts in base camp where you’ll begin a journey along an obstacle strewn course. Then get set for all the excitement of a scavenger hunt in the spectacular setting of Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Complete the challenge and escape with a special edition Compass finisher medal. Double the adventure and fun and run as a two-person Trek team! Teams can be all male, all female, coed or military.

Course / Route Map

Your adventure run begins at Base Camp in the Butterfly Parking Lot of Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park and continues through the theme park past many of the park’s famous attractions. Beware of obstacles stationed along your 5k trek! The obstacles will not be too difficult to complete but they will definitely make your 5K trek a little more challenging!

At the completion of the run, trekkers will return to the Butterfly Lot to begin their scavenger hunt. Remember you need to solve the five clues along the way in order to reach the summit. After the clues have been solved, you’ll have the answer that will lead you to the Post-Race Party.
